CapCut API

CapCut templates and the template gallery with uses, likes, plays and creators as clean JSON.

The API.SH CapCut API returns public CapCut template data as JSON. Look up one template by link for its title, description and hashtags, uses, likes, plays, comments, clip count, duration, aspect ratio, language, creation date, cover, CapCut's preview video, its creator and recommended templates. The gallery route returns the shelves of CapCut's templates page, such as editor's pick, social, holiday and business, with their templates.

API.SH vs the official CapCut API

CapCut does not publish an open developer API for template data. The CapCut API projects on GitHub and npm are unofficial tools for building editing drafts, not for reading templates. API.SH returns public template and gallery data as JSON with no CapCut login.

Rather than building a CapCut template scraper or relying on unofficial GitHub projects, API.SH gives you one key, a stable JSON format and a fixed price per call.

CapCut API questions

What CapCut data can I get?+

One template by link with stats, details, creator and recommendations (/capcut/v1/template) and the template gallery shelves with their templates (/capcut/v1/templates).

How much does the CapCut API cost?+

Every CapCut endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /capcut/v1/template at 1 credit each.

Does CapCut have an official API?+

Not one that developers can sign up for to read template data. Most "CapCut API" results are unofficial projects for creating editing drafts. API.SH covers public template data only.

Do I need a CapCut account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public CapCut template pages only. No endpoint uses a login or anyone's account.

Is there a free CapCut API key?+

You don't need a CapCut key. Sign up at api.sh for an API.SH key, which comes with 1,000 free credits every month.

Does it edit videos or remove watermarks?+

No. It reads template data, including the cover and CapCut's preview video link. It does not edit, export or change videos.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key from the dashboard. 3. Call /capcut/v1/templates with category=editors-pick, then /capcut/v1/template with a template link. Request examples and every parameter are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
